Markup

No 16 in a series of occasional reviewsof iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad apps useful for English literature and
language learning and teaching.Markup has just been released by the team who created one of our favourite tools, Showme.

Designed for the iPad, it is a neat 'paperless grading app' which is simplicity itself - you open a document from your iPad (using the familiar 'open in'), or by emailing it to a special address, use the writing tools to mark the piece, and then export it as a PDF by email back to the pupil. The developers have plenty of interesting plans ahead for the app, and it's available at a modest cost from the iTunes store.

This is truly handy for the increasing number of essays, projects and assignments coming to English teachers in electronic form.
